That's exactly what spammers like to do - force their "policy" on the
recipients.

Sure, and the next step will be 0.0.0.0/0.  Lo and behold - no
spam any more!
The issue is not the absolute amount of spam, but rather the SNR.
Blacklisting the U.S. is, on the average, not likely to improve the SNR
(although it might, in some situations), while blacklisting dynamic
pools definitely will.

Cheers,
 David
